The Greggs motives are completely revelant. We would simply be a football club playing at a stadium theoretically owned by Gregg and the bank, with all the extra revenue from 'other events' going straight into Greggs pockets and Everton could have been bust in a couple of years.KIrkby was a poor idea, but would always have had little chance of success, and yet it was 'sold' to Earle on the basis of his income from the retail area, with a Planet Hollywood,Hard Rock Cafe and the like. Bill selling the dream again. Samuelson and his cronies feature largely in an investigation on El Jazeera(in full) and quoted on Toffeeweb....the conclusion is that Everton 'escaped Samuelson by the skin of their teeth'.....although according to some, he's still around and was responsible for Moshiri coming to Everton.....not my suggestion, just a comment(a mischievious one?) from Toffeeweb/El Jazeera. If you excuse Bills elaborate phrasing, he just got out of the Samuelson/Fortress trap in time.
